Dealing with Grief

Grief.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

How to Get Help Dealing with Grief

Move past negative thought patterns and find a healthy way to grieve with a gentle, permissive Hypnotherapy or Counselling session

Are you struggling to cope with the loss of someone important to you?

Do you wish you could find a healthy way to grieve?

Grief is a natural process we all experience when we lose someone important to us. But this doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

When you lose someone, it can be very hard for a while.

You may find that everything reminds you of them and, more painfully, that they are no longer around.

It can sometimes feel as though you'll never be able to deal with your grief and move on with your life.

Our brains deal with grief naturally

When grieving, people often find that strangers in the street look like the person they are grieving for.

This is a natural process, as your brain is gently weaning this person from your daily life. The person you are grieving for can always be there for you on one level, but you do need to continue to live, and find enjoyment in, your own life.

So when the process of grief continues for months without reducing in intensity, it may be time for a little help.

Begin to move on by organising your grief

A helpful way of dealing with grief is to organise the process so you can have more choice about when and how you grieve.

This stops sad thoughts and recollections from constantly interrupting your day to day life. It allows the grieving you do to be more concentrated and 'pure', but less pervasive and disturbing.

Because to truly remember someone is a great act of appreciation and respect, and to continue truly living your life can be an act of respectful remembrance.

Fears and Phobias Hypnotherapy Sessions

fears and phobias.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Use hypnotherapy to update your unconscious mind to overcome old anxieties

It's good to know that you can easily overcome fears and phobias with hypnotherapy, because such anxieties are extremely common. More than 10% of people will experience a simple phobia at some time in their lives. From elevators, spiders and birds, to heights, dentists and open spaces, there is nothing we can't develop anxiety or phobias about.

But you're not doomed to be stuck with them forever.

Happily, hypnotherapy provides an extremely effective cure for these problems as it provides the opposite of anxiety - deep relaxation. At the same time, it teaches the mind a different way of responding to the feared object or situation. Hypnotherapy for phobias works by detaching the stimulus (trigger object) from the emotional response (fear) and 'updating' the brain with a new, more realistic response.

How to Believe in Yourself more

Self confidence.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Lack of self confidence and low self esteem can be crippling and debilitating.  They can stop a person from socialising, hinder progress at work and within relationships and generally erode a person’s enjoyment of a full and wonderful life.

People with a lack of self confidence or low self esteem are usually acutely aware of their errors and chide themselves for ‘doing it wrong’. They take things extremely personally and struggle with personal criticism because it feeds directly into their negative belief system. To make themselves feel better they often resort to putting others down in order to feel better and literally cannot help themselves.

Usually lack of self confidence and low self esteem are established at a young age as a result of actions or words by a parent, sibling or carer, intentionally or unintentionally.  As the young mind develops negative beliefs such as ‘not being good enough’ or ‘worthy’ are so firmly planted that the negative cycle pattern simply continues.

By using hypnotherapy and coaching the negative belief system is challenged and re-wired. It’s like taking off a pair of dirty glasses you have worn for years and replacing them with a fresh pair that are crystal clear. Confidence is key in everything you do.  Let me help you to truly believe in yourself and that you can be confident at all times.

Why to use hypnotherapy would build your trust in who you are and what you can do.

As you relax and listen in your session, you'll notice that

  • your expectations of yourself begin to rise

  • you feel very curious to discover what you can do

  • you are less concerned about mistakes and more interested in what you can learn

  • you sense a growing feeling of power and capability within you

  • you trust yourself implicitly to learn more and become increasingly skillful in whatever you give your full attention to

  • life starts to be so much more enjoyable

How to Break Down Your Stress to Get Rid of It

Stress.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

When most of us are stressed, it is for a reason. We are stressed for instance because of our work, because of a deadline or because of debt. Knowing what is causing the stress helps us to at least contextualise it and gives us hope that someday we might escape its clutches, but for many of us that is not enough.

But if you break that stress down further and if you really get to know it, then you might just find that it starts to come apart and that it becomes much more manageable.

Make Your Stress Smaller

The trick is to break down your stress into specific things – into manageable chunks that you can deal with – and then to deal with the constituent parts.

So let’s take a look at one of the biggest culprits: work. If your main stressor is work, then chances are that you can break this down further to identify precisely what it is about work that stresses you out. Here are some examples of aspects of our jobs that make us stressed:

·        Looming deadlines

·        Angry bosses

·        Unpleasant colleagues

·        Uncomfortable workspaces

·        Busy, long commutes

·        Things you would rather be doing

·        Wearing work clothes

·        Making calls

·        Speaking in public

·        Having too much to do

All these things can make us feel stressed about our jobs and most likely there are a number of these things playing on your mind.

But now you’ve broken it all down and you know the specifics, you should find it becomes much easier to start dealing with the problems individually.

So for instance: if you have a colleague you don’t like, you could ask to be moved to another part of the office. Likewise, if your workspace is uncomfortable, you could speak to HR about getting a new chair, or you could put a plant on your desk. Don’t like the long commute? How about looking into a lift share, or finding an alternative route. Workload too big? Then again, speak to someone and ask to have it shared!

Likewise, you might find that other ‘big’ stresses in your life can be made easier when you break them down into their smaller constituents. Stressed about debt? Then perhaps one aspect of that is not being able to afford things – in which case writing a budget could help. Another aspect could be worrying about your credit score, in which case you could talk to your bank manager or a debt advisor.

If this is something that affects you and would like to book a counselling or hypnotherapy session

How to Overcome Anticipatory Anxiety

Anticipatory Anxiety.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Calm down your worries about future events with Hypnotherapy

Is most of your worrying just anticipatory anxiety about the future, rather than concerns about what's actually going on now?

Do you get eaten up with dread about upcoming events and how they will turn out?

Your ability to imagine a goal in life, and to work out detailed plans to deal with obstacles, is a truly valuable resource. Deciding what you'll do if things go wrong is key to effective planning. It would be downright silly to assume everything will always go smoothly. Flights will be delayed, rain will fall on garden parties, people will forget what they were going to say, tomato sauce will get spilled over you...

It happens to everyone.

Too much thinking leads to anticipatory anxiety

The trouble is, when you spend too much time thinking too closely about everything that could go wrong, the famous mind-body connection goes into overdrive. Your worrying thoughts can trigger the actual physical emotions that would accompany those unfortunate events. Your heart rate rises, adrenaline floods into your bloodstream, and your body gets ready to face what it believes is a real and present danger.

When really it's all in your imagination.

Now obviously, it doesn't make sense to say you should just stop preparing for future events, and planning for negative eventualities, altogether. That would be likely to bring you some perfectly real (as opposed to imaginary!) difficulties.

What's needed is a way to think about eventualities (good or bad) calmly. A way to calm down any emotional response that gets triggered, so you can stay detached, make sensible plans, and then get on with your life.

And hypnosis is a brilliant way for you to do just that.

Hypnotherapy can help you calm down unnecessary fears

A Hypnotherapy session that will train your unconscious mind to instinctively calm down anxious thoughts about the future.

As you relax and listen , you'll notice that you

  • find yourself becoming much more relaxed about life in general

  • learn how to take command of your emotional responses

  • become more and more skilled at calming and quieting troubling thoughts

  • are no longer at the mercy of unpleasant emotions

  • can think much more clearly and effectively about helpful ways to prepare for upcoming events

  • enjoy life so much more.

Dealing with a Nervous Breakdown

nervous breakdown.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Deep relaxation can ease your stressed brain and give you back a sense of control and perspective

If you feel close to having a nervous breakdown right now you are probably feeling like you have hit rock bottom.

Many people who are close to a nervous breakdown feel a million miles from their real self.

Feelings of anger, negativity, exhaustion and anxiety are probably overwhelming you and your ability to lead a 'normal' life and have 'normal' relationships is no doubt proving tough.

The right approach can help quickly

Nervous breakdowns tend to happen due to a demanding lifestyle, stress, or as a result of dealing with trauma. Stress and anxiety can often lead to depression and feelings of being unable to cope.

You may feel at the moment that everything is a struggle and there is nothing positive in your life. However, treating a breakdown in the right way will allow you to come out the 'other side' of this an even better person.

Here's how I can help you…..

Relaxation is the key to recovery

Stopping for a while and taking time to relax when you feel things are getting too much will gradually allow your body and mind to start to feel refreshed and re-energized again. Regular relaxation will also help 'reset' your sleeping patterns which will help reduce your stress levels greatly.

A Hypnotherapy session will quickly make you feel calmer and happier, getting you back to the 'real you'. Being relaxed and knowing how to cope with stress and challenging situations will allow you to approach the future in a calmer and more confident way.

Getting back to the 'real' you

You can just imagine yourself now with the feeling of this renewed energy and confidence. With this, you will begin to enjoy those little things in life such as meeting up with a friend for a coffee, going shopping or spending time with your family; just like you used to.

When you feel more relaxed you will also be able to put up boundaries and set yourself limits so you don't have to deal with a breakdown again. As you start to feel calmer, things you currently find difficult to do will slowly become easier.

Just remember that right now you have just gone off track slightly and you just need to stop for a while to return back to the 'real you'. With this rest and revitalisation you will begin to see a brighter future.

How to Improve Your Mood Quickly

improve-mood.jpg with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Why Hypnotherapy can help you step out of bad moods rapidly

Whether you're grumpy, annoyed or feeling low, trying to make yourself feel better (in the wrong way) can be counter-productive.

Many people try to improve their mood by striving to figure out why they feel bad. As you may have noticed, this is a dead-end strategy because you just end up ruminating on what's making you feel bad.

How hypnotherapy can help improve your mood

The trick to improving your mood quickly is to work directly on changing your emotional state. Which sounds obvious, but it's easier said than done.

Which is where hypnotherapy comes in. Because hypnosis enables you to take deliberate control of your attention, and at the same time deeply relaxes you, it's perfect for changing your mood.

A Hypnotherapy session will first relax you deeply, then move your mind and body into a different state, where your emotions and hormonal balance will help you feel better.

It will enable your unconscious mind to bring forth a new, more relaxed, more upbeat emotion. You will enjoy deep, peaceful relaxation, and experience the old mood drifting away from you. You will get a refreshing break, and gain perspective on whatever was making you feel bad.

It is well known that laughter releases endorphins in the brain, nature's 'feel good' chemicals. The power of hypnosis will help you feel so much better, so quickly. Plus, you will learn practical information about what does and doesn't work to improve your mood.

Stuck in a rut? Time to get out!

stuck in a rut.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Hypnotherapy can help you change your life

Has your life got stuck in a rut that you feel you'll never get out of?

Are you sick and tired of the same old same old?

Routine and predictability have their merits, of course. We wouldn't feel particularly comfortable or happy living in a state of chaos where you never knew what was going to happen, or what you should be doing. So we do devote a substantial part of our energies to working out how to set up our lives so that we have some level of control and can plan ahead.

Indeed, many people draw immense satisfaction from getting their lives to conform as closely as possible to their particular notion of how life 'should be'. And it's also the case that some of us need and want a lot more routine in our lives than others.

But there can come a point when our quest for control, and predictability, turns from being a barrier keeping chaos out to being more like a prison keeping us locked in, wondering if we'll ever get parole. You can have too much predictability. Too much of doing the same things over and over. Seeing the same people over and over. Nothing new to stimulate and challenge you.

Why getting out of a rut can feel so hard

The trouble is, even when this realisation dawns on you, it's not exactly an easy thing to change! It's human nature to get used to things. We may no longer get much joy out of our surroundings, or our activities, but they're comfortable, we know how to deal with them, almost without thinking. Change requires effort. Not only that, but you can't guarantee the result. And that thought can be very daunting.

So how do you get over the inertia that prevents action and put the spark back in your life?

Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to bring about change

As you relax and listen in your Hypnotherapy session

  • a subtle yet powerful change will be taking place deep within you

  • you begin to look at your life with very different eyes

  • you start to notice more ways in which things really could be different

  • you set about experimenting with what will work for you

  • your life takes on a new sense of meaningful, purposeful excitement

How to Overcome Homesickness with Hypnotherapy

homesickness.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Your feelings of loss when away from home can be eased by gentle, permissive Hypnotherapy

Home sickness is very common. Most people at some time or another have experienced homesickness. Many experience it as children - maybe going away from home for the first time or for extended periods.

The Pandemic (Covid 19) being the perfect example

Homesickness can leave us with a very real sense of sadness and emptiness. It can almost feel like a bereavement

When you're homesick, you might feel nostalgic for familiar things like, friends, family, pets, your house, or neighborhood. You might feel a longing for simple things like your front door or the trees across the way. It can make you feel lonely and under-confident.

Separation anxiety and homesickness

If you suffer homesickness you might notice that even the thought of being separated from loved ones and your familiar surroundings can get you feeling anxious even before you pack your things to leave. Maybe you have to go away on business trips or perhaps even going away on vacation can make you feel bad.

Getting over the homesickness habit

Any emotional response can become habitual pretty quickly. If you experience homesickness as an adult chances are you first felt homesick many years ago and now the feelings have become automatically attached to 'leaving home behaviour.'

You may consciously and logically know that you'll only be gone a few days or weeks or even months but sadness and unhappiness persist perhaps worsened by feelings of real anxiety. These feelings may not really belong to you - they may just be a habitual residue to the way things used to be when you were younger. Like clothes that somehow fitted when you were a kid but just don't fit now that you've grown.

Overcoming homesickness with hypnotherapy

The good news is that it is possible for you to relax away from home. Even if it seems like you've left your home for good, the place you miss is always available to you hypnotically.

You can re-connect and revisit your home in hypnosis, while also starting to feel familiar and relaxed in your new place. This hypnotherapy session will get you feeling more relaxed about leaving and being away from home and also give you the opportunity to recapture the experience of being at home - after all you can visit any where in your mind.
